At 7:30pm on June 23, for the Vigil of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, we will chant the traditional Latin office of Vespers during Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in the Cathedral and conclude with Benediction, which should take about 35-40 minutes. Afterwards, we will have a traditional lighting and blessing of a modest fire-pit sized bonfire that is customary for this night in the courtyard area. You may bring old/used/damaged blessed religious items, such as palms, prayer cards, candle stubs, cloth scapulars, etc. to burn in the fire. Feel free to bring a snack or refreshments to share.
